Bristol Police News

Jacob Rushlow, a city teenager whose neck was slashed with a broken beer bottle during a fight at a keg party Friday night, was discharged from Bristol Hospital Sunday, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Rushlow, 17, suffered what officials said was a life-threatening wound to his neck and was rushed to the hospital for surgery late Friday. He allegedly was attacked by Brian A. Schermerhorn, 19, of 565 Clark Ave., after the two argued.

Schermerhorn was charged with first-degree assault. He was released Sunday after posting $25,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 9.
